1 Uppingham Road Stockerston, Oakham Guide Price £500,000

This delightful cottage sits to the edge of the village, within the Welland Valley in the rolling south Leicestershire countryside. It is located in the extreme south-east of the county and is very close to the borders with Rutland and Northamptonshire; it is just moments from the Eyebrook Reservoir. The pretty market towns of Uppingham and Market Harborough are just 3 miles and 9 miles. Both of the thriving larger local villages of Great Easton and Medbourne, each only 3 miles away, have village shop/Post Office and well-regarded Public Houses.

There is a wide selection of state and independent schooling in the area including the local Bringhurst Primary School and Hallaton Primary School. Secondary schooling is available locally at Uppingham Community College, whilst notable private secondary schooling options are available at Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle and Stamford Schools.

Corby and Market Harborough train stations offers access to London St Pancras from 55 minutes, making the area an excellent location for those wishing to travel regularly to London for leisure or work purposes. Leicester and Peterborough are easily accessible via the A47, and the M1 and the M6 providing access to London and Birmingham.

Set back behind an attractive front garden the central front door opens to a hallway with oak staircase. Off to each side are reception rooms with beams, window seat, fireplaces, one with log burning stove, limestone tiled flooring, and oak doors. The garden room opens up from one of the reception rooms, with French doors leading to the gardens. The generous sized dining kitchen has further French doors to the garden and a full run of attractive painted wooden base units. There are integral dishwasher, washer dryer, two fridges and ice box. Cooking is via a two ring Neff hob, and the oil-fired Rayburn which also provides central heating and hot water, with an electric immersion as back up. The ground floor is completed with a cloakroom/wc.

The solid oak staircase leads to a very useful study area with work station. There are three large double bedrooms, all with stunning views of the countryside or the village lane. The family bathroom has both bath and separate shower unit.

A gravelled driveway leads to parking for up to four cars. The gardens are lawned and offer great potential for creating areas to entertain or sit gazing at the rolling views. The adjoining cottage does have access across the drive to their own property.
